I'm sitting in the tub, totally exhausted after getting up every hour again last night. Totally needed this thank you. I'm going to go kiss my daughter and remember to be grateful for this experience with my sweet LO that I so wanted!
Sorry I'm going to be a sap (again) and maybe a little bit of a Debbie downer but whatev.
I have always said that while a person can have multiple cousins, aunts, uncles, brothers, sisters, nieces, etc., they will always have only one mom and one dad and there is no one on this earth who could take the place of those two people (unless it is a homosexual couple and then both moms or dads are equally irreplaceable). I have always dreamed about being that one mom in a child's life and I thought I'd never get that chance.
I can already see how she looks at me differently than she looks at her grandma or uncles. I know that when she smiles at the sitter, no matter how grumpy she looks when I pick her up she always wraps her arms around me and sucks my face. I am her mom. No one can take that from me or her. Its a pretty amazing/incredible/unbelievable feeling and I have never felt so blessed.
I hate that reminding me that one day I'll be old and alone is the best way to make me appreciate everything I have today. It's like the writer has to make me sad to remind me that I'm happy.
Very nice article. I'll be ugly crying and snuggling DD for the rest of the day.
@afolske106 should make that twatwaffle on her fb read this. maybe she'll feel bad about starving her baby and will do what mothers do- take care of her child
I'm totes going to share it!! Maybe, just maybe, she will take a hint!!
